Not because I was unafraid, but because I truly didn’t know differently. I didn’t understand the difference between masculine or feminine. I wanted to play and have fun like any child, and for me that was dressing up as the Pink Power Ranger.

Colombian Artist Sweats Fast Fashion So You Don't Have To — Cakeboy Magazine. What was it like growing up queer in Colombia?

I had an ok childhood, I think. There were a lot of women in my family and they were nicer to me than the men, so I would pay a lot of attention to what they would say and do. They were really into fashion; my mom went to school to be a designer. I kind of idealized my mother and felt like, ‘I’m, gonna be like her, she’s got her shit together.’

Or le fanatisme et le populisme parlent tous deux au corps, aux pulsions.
Dispelling Beauty Myths: Gender Norms - Allure Videos. A Book About Gender, par Maya Agam / étapes: diplômes 2016. To Gender Fluid People Who Have Been Told They Don't Look "Queer Enough"
Many of us are taught to believe some pretty specific things regarding what "androgyny" looks like. As reflected in many so-called gender fluid looks on the runway, women rocking short cuts and menswear seem to be the extent of the mainstream definition. For that reason, trans visibility arguably suffers.

Laverne Cox, Candis Cayne & More on Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera. The 4 heroes of the Stonewall riots you didn't learn about in history class. Marsha P Johnson was a pioneer on the Stonewall riots Marsha P Johnson Marsha ‘Pay It No Mind’ Johnson Marsha was the one who ‘really started it’ on the night of the riots, according to witnesses in David Carter’s Stonewall biography. She went to the Stonewall Inn that night for her 25th birthday, and as a stalwart of the bar, was a focus of much of the celebrations. Like many trans women at the time, she performed as a drag queen.

During the riots, Marsha was observed dropping a heavy weight onto a police car – a powerful moment in the initial resistance.
Images Site Web pour cette image Caricature of d'Éon dressed half in women's clothes, half in men's clothes en.wikipedia.org. Harridan Township is doing gender fluid clothing right. In the past couple years, Zara, American Apparel, and Gap have all responded to customers’ increasingly non-binary and genderqueer presentations by launching their own gender non-conforming clothing lines. But take a moment to peek at the Zara line launched a few months ago, and I’m sure you’ll agree it was hardly groundbreaking: While these brands use progressive labels like “gender-neutral,” “ungendered” and “unisex” to describe their lines, in Zara’s case, I think “shapeless mess of clothing garbage” is more appropriate.

Images. Tyler Ford: "I Should Not be Misgendered On Set ... It's Violent and Unprofessional"
Transgender writer and activist Tyler Ford went on an epic tweetstorm on Friday, calling out a systemic problem within the fashion industry: the misgendering of transgender and gender nonconforming models. "When the makeup artist calls you 'she' & the hairdresser calls you 'he' but the shoot is supposed to be highlighting trans folks #No," the 24-year-old wrote, without specifying a perpetrator. "If you're in charge of a shoot featuring a trans or non-binary person, you need to make everyone on set aware of their pronouns.

Men in Skirts. There’s a great piece in Black Girl Dangerous about femme clothing, gender expression and identity.

In their article, non-binary femme author Jack Qu’emi Gutiérrez talks about Jaden Smith’s appearance in a womenswear campaign making the news, and explains that unless he states otherwise, Jaden is still a young cisgender man. He should be celebrated for showing that it’s OK for men — especially black men — to express femininity, but he’s not a “non-binary icon,” and he’s not mocking or taking anything away from trans people.

Jacob Tobia [Manhattan, New York]
Lucky boy raised without gender stereotypes. You could call it a bonfire of the vanities. Encourage Suri Cruise and Princess Tiaamii, daughter of Jordan, to bin the general contents of their make-up bags and, after setting alight to these unnecessary accoutrements to toddlerdom, allow each to stride (as opposed to hobble in high heels) into primary school as – well what exactly? As gender intended? And what precisely might that mean for those children reared in households in which to be female demands the height of self-consciousness and several undercoats before the application of a final high-gloss varnish.

It's a rum world when parents Beck Laxton and Kieran Cooper are regarded as crazy for adopting an approach to raising a child that is not, as Dr Daragh McDermott, a psychology lecturer, says "gender-neutral" but is stripped of stereotypes. So, we are told, when Sasha, now aged five and looking remarkably normal, was born, he was called "the infant", he slept in a yellow room and wore boy's or girl's clothes.
